The school has a lot of opportunities, but they don't be telling all the students. Which leaves many students who would have wanted a chance to participate in a program without the chance to.

School will not recommend it. Teachers are horrible bathrooms are dirty. The principal is unforgiving and cruel. I would not recommend a school at all and I have quit my job at this place. Do not send your kid here.

As with all urban school districts officials face problems that reflect the problems in our society. It is easy to blame the school but there are things that are out of the control of the administration. That is not to say that things cannot be improved. However, I would not be the person I am today...
